The Origin of Railroad .'savIus.'

Some years ago two long freight trains met at a siding on one of the Illinois prairies. The siding was not long enough to allow the trains tOp pass. The assistant manager of the road happened tc bc on one of the trains. and he was at his wits end Co know what tO do. There stepped up a young brakeman who said he could manage the trains so as tO enable them Co pass. The engineers laughed at him, but the manager asked him tO explain. With a stick he traced in the ground his plan, and i. was SD simple that every one at once comprehended it. In fifteen minutes the two trains had been moved by, and the operation is now universally adopted on sidings that are too short. It Is called saving. The young fellow, while riding on the top of his car across the dreary prairies had studied out and solved this problem. and when the opportunity came he was ready for it. He is now the gen eral manager of the great Northwestern system m-Ncw York Sun.

Mr.. II. D. Rogers is pushing the work on his

Mr. Jason Dawson has bought the old John

know that Mr. Beedy has secured fine farm.
Mr. John Merkliue is now building barn 5sx
90 feet with stone basement under one side.

roads are building toward ir. Property Is higher
than in Kansas City. A Wichita business man
tells how it was done I'm the following manner.
1--WE organized. We held most nightly meet
ings and among the first things we agreed upon
through thick and thin. We advertised by hun
dreds of thousands Of circulars. We sent fourth
all our advantages in such manner that strang-
were led by our circulars TO give us calls were
not deceived but on t1e contrary. agreed that we
did not put il as strongly as We might. Every
town i'm the east was not only served with our
circulars, but with newspapers The newspaper

then subscribed for q large number OF copies,
loaded with local advertising and fun accounts of
I future prospects and great advantages. and we
found by cOuyersing with parties who finally came
here prospecting, that the full advertising columns
or our papers, which they had seen, did more TO
impress them with the growth and importance Of
the place than ali else. We found then that we
could not OverdO this thlng-that the more We laid
ont the more were Our prOuLs. Every new conner
was a customer TO most Of our stores, and while
their advertising paid TO them rich returns il ser-
ed the double purpose to impress the eastern man
who had eye 10 business with the fact Wichita
was "a rising town, in fact, and thus we have gone
on until we have added population of over 2IOJGs
and property has increased in business places
more than q thousand fold, and in tue country
round about us the appreciation has been fully
400 per cent. You have in times gone by. done u
good deal OF advertising for me- You know, but

The Reign OF Peace

The Republican party IS pledged by

national differences by International
arbitration - Tins is the policy OF
peace-Lhe high-water mark OF civiliza-
tiOn-tO which the Republican party is
committed and for which we hope it viii
gain the support of the thinking men of
the nation, regardless OF the political
parties to which they may now belong.
The time is come in the history of
the world when the nations should beat
their swords into plOwshares and their
spears into pruning-hOOks ard when
they should war no more. Arbitration
of national differences ought to be
adopted everywhere. War considered
with respect to the obstruction of wealth
which attends it.. is always a curse
By no sort OF legerdermain or jugg-
ling is it possible to make il appear
otherwise. 1t is a curse not only To The
nation Immediately concerned in it,
but also the whole world. il is this
curse which america should seek to re-
move.
